Charcter Bio - Azlyn Rae was a Human female who, throughout her life, was trained in the ways of the Force by both the Jedi Order and the Imperial Knights. During her childhood, she was apprenticed to the Jedi Master Rasi Tuum as she trained to be a Jedi on Ossus. She grew close to her classmate Cade Skywalker while at the Jedi Academy, but their relationship and her training were halted when Lord Darth Krayt's Sith Order massacred the Jedi and Krayt seized control of the galaxy. Rae survived the Jedi Purge and believed both Tuum and Skywalker to be dead, prompting her to put her past behind her and become a bounty hunter. When she was discovered by the Imperial Knights, she accepted their offer to join their ranks and complete her training. Rae swore oaths of loyalty to Emperor Roan Fel and began serving his Empire-in-exile.

Seven years after the scattering of the Jedi, Rae learned of Skywalker's survival when she was sent on an undercover mission by Fel to bring him to the Imperial fortress world of Bastion. After revealing herself to her old friend on Iego, Rae earned his trust and was brought by him to a Hidden Temple where the Jedi Order had been slowly rebuilding itself. There, she was reunited with Rasi Tuum, and was ordered by her fellow Imperial Knight Marasiah Fel to accompany Skywalker on a mission to assassinate Darth Krayt. The mission led Skywalker's strike team to Had Abbadon, where they lured Krayt into a trap and managed to mortally wound him after Rae stabbed him through the chest. She herself was brought to the brink of death by Krayt's Force lightning, and Skywalker rushed her to Kiffex to be healed by his uncle Rawk.

Rae accepted her impending death and resisted all efforts to heal her, but was nevertheless placed into a suit of life-preserving armor by Rawk and his wife Droo. She reacted angrily to her predicament, lashing out at Skywalker and accusing him of selfishly keeping her alive. After returning to Bastion, she was given less constricting armor by Hogrum Chalk, the Imperial Knights' Master Armorer, and soon after accompanied her Emperor to Agamar to conduct peace talks with the Jedi. The meeting was interrupted by Sith forces, and Rae, Tuum, and Marasiah were left behind when the Imperial Knights and Jedi evacuated the planet. Marasiah was taken by the Sith, and when Rae and Tuum's efforts to rescue her failed, they returned to Bastion to relay their news to the Emperor.

Azlyn Rae was an adventurous youth, often exploring the jungles of Ossus with Cade Skywalker and playing pranks on her Jedi instructors. Her loyalty to the Jedi Order remained strong even after she was estranged from it and taken in by the Imperial Knights. Seven years after the Jedi were scattered by Darth Krayt's Sith, Rae re-encountered the remnants of the Order and began longing for the way of the Jedi. Her conflicted heart was palpable in the Force and able to be sensed by her former Master, Rasi Tuum. Although she yearned for her past, Rae was mindful of the oaths she had sworn to Emperor Fel as an Imperial Knight. Her duty to the Emperor was clear to her mind, if not to her heart, and she felt a debt of gratitude to the Imperial Knights for taking her in and completing her training. Rae felt severely conflicted while at the Hidden Temple, and considered the possibility of abandoning her oaths and rejoining the Jedi. Ultimately, she chose to remain
with the Imperial Knights.

On an undercover mission for Emperor Fel, Rae willingly deceived and earned the trust of Cade Skywalker, her childhood friend, when she was reunited with him after seven years of estrangement. When Skywalker realized her duplicity and berated her for it, she began to feel remorse, thinking that their past together should have garnered him respect and honesty on her part. Although she had believed him to be dead and had tried to forget about him, Rae had always loved Skywalker, and he her. The Imperial Knight Ganner Krieg also had feelings for Rae, and although she cared for Krieg too, she believed that their duties as Imperial Knights would always take them down separate paths.

The Imperial Knights served the Force as embodied by their Emperor, and Rae adamantly believed that their Emperor should never ask them to do anything dishonorable. She was disgusted when he ordered them to obtain the Muur Talisman, which she saw as an object of pure evil. She hated anything that was associated with the Sith, and was uncomfortable with the fact that the Talisman had transformed stormtroopers into Rakghouls, even if they served Darth Krayt's Empire. Believing that the Talisman was incredibly dangerous, Rae was prepared to kill Celeste Morne, the wearer of the Talisman, in cold blood in order to destroy it. She thought that Morne had been poisoned by its influence, and was willing to take it on herself in an effort to contain its evil.

While battling Sith on Had Abbadon, Rae attempted to prevent Antares Draco, her ally, from obtaining the Talisman. She was staunch in her belief that Darth Krayt's death was their main priority,[14] and she stabbed him herself during the battle. The effort nearly killed her, and while she lay on the brink of death, she was content with the thought that her actions had saved the galaxy. She asked Skywalker to let her die and become one with the Force, and resisted all efforts to heal her. She hated the suit of life-preserving armor that she was subsequently placed in, and accused Skywalker of keeping her alive for selfish reasons. She lamented the fact that she would never feel anything on her skin again, and once again wanted to die.

Rae gained some of her will to live back after Hogrum Chalk fitted her with a more practical suit of armor, and was eager to test out its capabilities in battle. She was once again fully dedicated to the Imperial Knights and the Emperor, going to great efforts to keep Princess Marasiah Fel out of the Sith's clutches. Although she had been unconscious when Marasiah had been taken by the Sith, Rae felt that she had failed her duty by not having prevented it. Rasi Tuum attempted to dissuade her from pursuing Marasiah into a Sith?Imperial Star Destroyer, but she insisted that her duty demanded she try. Pragmatism won out in the end, however, when Rae realized that she could not take on an entire Sith?Imperial fleet in a single attack ship.

Although she served an organization that viewed the Force as a tool, Rae yet believed in the will of the Force. After being severely injured on Had Abbadon, she thought that the Force willed she should die. She later believed that it was the will of the Force, in addition to her duty as an Imperial Knight, that she attempt to rescue Marasiah from the Sith.

Azlyn Rae was trained in the ways of the Force by both the Jedi Order and the Imperial Knights, two organizations whose members were said to be among the most talented and powerful Force-users in the galaxy. After becoming a full-fledged Imperial Knight, she possessed a unique diversity of training that led to her often being assigned by the Emperor on missions as a scout or undercover agent. She showed prowess as a scout, pursuing Cade Skywalker from Socorro to Iego without being noticed. She was also skilled at deception, able to lie to Skywalker and his friends and convince them to trust her while she was actually using them to smuggle her fellow Imperial Knights into the Jedi's Hidden Temple.

Rae was skilled in various uses of the Force, including telekinesis and mind tricks. She could also sense others in the Force at great distances. Rae survived a battle with a group of Sith on Agamar that saw several Imperial Knights fall, killing at least one Sith during the melee. Her stabbing of Darth Krayt on Had Abbadon was the first of several strikes that led to his defeat, although the encounter nearly killed her as well. In addition to her Force abilities, Rae was a capable pilot.
